WATER-COOLING RADIA'iOR.

Application filed November 5, 1912.

To all whom, it may concern: I

Be it known that I, VILLIAM J. KELLS, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Jersey City, in the county of Hudson and State of New Jersey, have invented a neW and Inmroved ater-Cooling Radiator, of which the following is a t'ull. clear, and exact description.

Among the principal object's ivhich the present invention has in view are: to provide means for delivering water to an airdrat't-cooled radiator in such a manner as to cause the entire water to pass within the radius of the air-draft; to providennavns for delivering water to a tubutir radiator in such manner as to direct the liow in contact with the tubes having the maximum re frigerating quality; and to provide means for rein't'orcing the construction of the rae diator.

ltel ercnce is to he had to the accomrmn) ing drawings forming a part ot? this specification, in which similar characters of reference indicate (m-responding parts in all the viens and in whichl igurc l is a rear elevation of a: radiator 01 the character usually euii'iloycd in auto n'iobiles wherein the air-draft for cooling the radiator is iinluced by a rotary suction t'an disposed at therear ot the radiator; Fig. 2

is a. vertical section taken on the line 'l---L in Fig. 1; Fig. 3 is a detail view, on an enlarged scale and in perspective. showing the connecting section of the watcr-dcliverv pipe employed in the present; invention; and Fig. l is a detail view on an enlarged scale, showing a Fragment oi the radiator body and ot the trout plate thcreol'.

.XH seen in the accompanying drawings, the radiator Pi is provided with a multiplicit v of tubes which are secured in trout and rear face plates 10 and ll. rcs a-ctivel v, to t'orm continuous passages thcrcthrough. l lEO lLI'UHl and rear plates are spaced apart to form a vertical rclativcl narro\\"=..cluiniher or tank, into which water is"delivei*ed' by means of an inlet tube [2, and from whence it is delivered through an outlet l lleretot'ore the inlet tube employed in connection with the cooler has been preterablv disposed on the opposite side of, and diametrically removed l'roiu the outlet. it is in order to retain the water in the radiator 8 the. maximum period of time that the inlet and outlet have been thus disposed. An objection has existed to this form of the i Specification of Letters Patent.

apparatus diie to the fact that it has proved impossible to control the line of How of the water, and as a consequence the water has been carried past the point in the radiator where the temperature is reduced the greatest, and not brought within the influence of this area of the radiator. The present invention provides against the objection stated above by delivering the water through a slot l-lformed in the inlet tube 12, which slot is so disposed with reference to the center ot the tan'lfi, or the center of the coolest area as to deliver the water directly downward therepast. 'lo guide the water leaving the. tube 1. 2. flanges 10 are provided, said flanges being disposed at opposite sides of the slot 1 t, and preferably flared, as shown in the drawings.

While I have shown in the present drawings the tube 12 as disposed vertically above the center of the fan 15, it'vvill be understood that.[ am not. limited to such a structure or arrangement, as said tube may be disposed at one side of the vertical center of the fan 15. When such a variation in the structure is ell ectcd, the flanges 16 deflect the water leaving the tube 12, to deliver the water above the center of said fan. I

"he tlauges it; are constructed of material which maybe bent to expand or contract the passage between the said flanges, and in so doing widen or narrow the stream ot water delivered from the tube 12, and thereby cause the incoming water to flow directl into and across the air-cooled area ol the radiator directly influenced by the lt will be understood that the. water then introduced into the radiator' flows thcreal'ler to all parts of the said radiator, but that when intrmlueed as a solid stream controlleil so as to pass 'over the area of greatest t'rigidittg to wit, a line coaxial with the tan to. amorecven radiation of the heat of the water is. obtained.

The tubes- 9 are inserted in the taco plates It) and' ll, and through perforations provided therein. 'lhc tubes are primarily introduced through the plate 10. being extended therclhrougz'h until the flanges 17 provided at one end of said tubes rest against the outer surl'acc ot' the plates 10. In Fig. l of the drawings. a small segment of the plate It) is shown. having the tubes 9 mounted therein. said tubes each having a flange ii the edges of which are extended to touch the edges of the (hinges 17 of the adjacent.

tubes 9. By this arrangement, the flanges 17 form triangular interspaces 18, which in the subsequent operation of constructing the radiator, form pockets for holding proper spelter or lead, lf'Y means of which the tubes are rigidly mounted upon said plate 10. The opposite ends of the tubes 9 extend through the plate 11 to the outer surface thereof. The ends of the tubes 9 and the outer surface of the plate 11 are flush, and these ends of said tubes are rigidly connected with the plate 11 by being soldered or Welded thereto. By providing the ends of the tubes 9 with the flanges 17, a large saving is effected over the'present cost of construction, where the speller or lead is floated on I "the plate 10 to the depth of the extension of the tubes 9 therefrom.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent 1- water inlet tube extending between said side I Walls and through one of said Walls to be closed by the other of said walls, said inlet tube having a delivery slot extending lengthwise thereof between said side walls and disposed to deliver Water aaross the center of the path of the column of air drawn through said radiator by said fan; and flanges formed on said inlet tube, adjacent the slot, to control the spread of water leaving said tube, and to direct the delivery of the same.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
